Booked white lion and dragon out of blue and was pleasantly surprised. It is a thai restaurant within and English pub. The decor was very nice, but the food was exceptional. Would defiantly go back again.
Nice place (clean and well decorected etc) and good service but to me the food was only average. There was no depth of flavor to the meal which was served far too quickly. It was OK but I have had much better Thai meals and will not be going back.
Only two serving staff who were doing their best but were over stretched. The food was not good. Tasted of old oil and not much else. We will not be going back.
Fabulous food and service. Always enjoy dinner at The White Lyon & Dragon. The Pad Thai and Chicken Penang are divine as was the Rendang Daging
Great ambiance good value and consistently quality Thai food. Good selection of draft beers and friendly service. Definitely one to recommend for any occasion. Thanks
Was a lovely evening, service very good, food delicious. My husband was a bit put off by the waitress cleaning the cutlery at a table in the corner. There was knives clanking every few seconds. Possibly cause it was a quiet night and wouldn't stop us going again, just a bit off putting when trying to relax.
Great food, great service. Unable to pay tip by card. And on Mondays, we were surprised to find it was BOGOF! Great experience, every time!
An extremely good meal. I had the garlicy chicken, my son the nasi goreng (had before and was frankly underwhelmed), while my wife had the jungle curry (good by extremely watery). Service was excellent.
They take "tastecard" which makes it amazing value and the food is excellent. However you have to be prepared to wait for it as the service is getting slower each time I visit.
Very good all round. Food very tasty and able to cater for veggies and gluten free requirements. Set menu was a good choice for the novice. A bit disappointed to see the washing up done in the restaurant as we approached closing time, and prices a tad high compared to other options locally, but thats all would say that wasnt positive. Overall very satisfied and would recommend without hesitation.
Food delicious and great service. We went at lunchtime so very quiet and a bit chilly, but otherwise loved it. We particularly enjoyed the kingfisher mixed starter platters and massaman curry.
The food was lovely. I had the chicken and mango salad which was very well presented and very tasty. The atmosphere was very relaxed. It was a great way to spend lunch.
The service was really slow, they were just understaffed. But I have to say that the wait was worth it as the food was wonderful.
We Absolutely love this restaurant, it is a local gem. The food, atmosphere and service are all excellent. We return again and again and again
Excellent Thai Chefs cook up some of the best food in the area. The waiting staff are very efficient and the atmosphere and decor are very relaxing. All in all my favorite Thai in Surrey :)
Visited on Mothers Day for lunch. The restaurant was severely understaffed. We waited 40 minutes to order and received our starters before our drinks were delivered. Very disappointing considering that the day was a special day and one where the restaurant was likely to be extra busy. Once we got it, the food was excellent..
When we arrived at the restaurant, it was not busy. More than half the tables were not occupied. However, it took more than half an hour for our drinks to arrive, and more than an hour for our food. We then ordered a second round of drink which never arrived (but did show on the bill until I pointed out the mistake). Staff were almost invisible so I had to go to the bar to get more drinks and (when it came to it) pay the bill. It was Mother's Day, so I would have thought that they would have scheduled enough staff to serve customers. The food was alright. All in all, VERY disappointing.
Gorgeous Thai food, with lovely staff. The decor is authentic and the food tastes just as though it's come from a restaurant in Thailand. Highly recommend
Service was a little slow but the staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. Lovely decor too. Thank you for my free birthday brandy :)
Dreadful evening! Waited 45 mins for starter and then were told we couldn't have two of the three dishes we ordered for the main course ( an hour earlier) as the gas wasn't working ! Then waited an hour for revised main courses, only to be given a beef curry instead of chicken. So many glum looking customers sitting waiting for something to eat! Memorable Valentines meal for wrong reason!
Food was excellent but service, although friendly, was slow. Hold up seemed to be food coming out of the kitchen rather than the waiting staff. Also it felt really chilly - the radiator couldnt cope with the cold was what the manager told us.
We go to The White Lyon and Dragon quite often. We love the atmosphere and the service has always been first class. We can't fault it.
Very good service and food. Good atmosphere even on a weekday. We were offered a doggy bag to take away. Very good value for money.
Lovely location,nice staff,very good food . It was rush hour and we had to wait more for the bill but it worth.we will definitely go back .
Great host and service, food was average. Went on a taste card, so was worth it. Wouldn't have been worth it for the full amount.
Absolutely fantastic place. Outstanding service, sublime food. Such a pleasant surprise - we had no idea it would be so good. Only one tiny issue was that the drinks bill bore no resemblance to what we drank and was clearly made up (we ordered from the bar before going to our table and the barman must have forgotten what to add to the bill). The drinks we were charged for were more expensive than they should have been, however we were so pleased with the place we let it go and paid anyway.
Good 'Pub Thai' food. Prices are reasonable for the Guildford area. Friendly staff. You can eat in the restaurant or if you prefer more casual dining the bar area.
We had a very enjoyable evening here. The staff were very attentive, the service and food good. Changes to the meals were made as requested. We would definitely return.
It seemed quite busy for a Tuesday but the service was efficient with no long waits. The food was good and the staff friendly and attentive.
Restaurant very busy because of special offers on Tuesdays, only 2 waitresses and service very, very slow . Good fabulous as always but the wait.....
We were very impressed with the quality of the food and the service was good. There was a good choice of food and drinks available.
Menu variety is excellent. Warm, welcoming atmosphere. The facilities were clean. Service was a little slow but we weren't in a hurry. Would definitely recommend to others.
Really lovely food - this was definitely more restaurant than pub (but there is a pub area as well, just separated off). Great selection and felt authentically thai. Staff were lovely.
very good as always, the food is to a very good standard and all of our group enjoyed our thai meals and food. I would happily recommend the restaurant
Nice ambience. Busy but not too noisy. Wide choice of food and wine. Excellent service. Food was very good - there were 6 of us and each of us chose differently from the menu and everyone very much enjoyed their meal. All in all a very pleasant evening.
Our food was delicious - very fresh and beautifully cooked. Service very pleasant but rather slow. Could get top marks if they could sort this out.
Very nice overall experience, the food is fantastic, staff friendly and understanding, my friend has lots of allergies and this is one of the few places she can try pretty much everything without having to worry about anything hidden
The White Lyon & Dragon excels on every visit. The food is superbly tasty and portions are ample. The bar section always has decent ale and the staff are efficient and friendly. Highly recommended :-)
Awful waste of money. NYE so they had all seats full but other than the service being very slow the food was very poor. Shop brought starters. The satay chicken had no flavour at all. The hoisin duck pancakes - the duck was cubed and not shredded so wrong texture in the pancake and they were soooo dry they cracked when attempting to roll them. The mains were tepid, watery and no flavour. Overlooked meat. Over cooked rice. We didn't bother with the dessert!! We had the most expensive banquet £29 per head and a complete waste of money. Never going back again. The waitress said 'sorry you didn't like, we are busy' - great customer service hey!!!
The food was really lovely, plenty of choice and excellent value for money. The service was good and the surroundings were really nice. Would certainly recommend a meal here.
Food okay, service excellent - bit pricey for the quality Wouldn't rush back but wouldn't avoid Easy to find and park All the usual menu items for a Thai
Wonderful place!!! great ambiance and relaxing mood. The food was very special, worth waiting 45 mins for the starter to arrive. Staff are friendly and professional. Will certainly visit again and is highly recommended!
The food was gorgeous and the ambience perfect. Everyone very polite and charming. Just the food was very slow - 3 hours. Apparently the head chef was on holiday so short staffed in the kitchen.
The service was a little slow we had to wait for someone to take drinks order, and then a long wait for drinks and then a long wait to order food. Starter was relatively prompt to arrive but only half our main came out and we had eaten that by the time the rest started appearing (it would have been cold otherwise). However, the food was absolutely delicious and could not be faulted. If they could improve on the speed of service, would be fantastic.
Good, friendly service and excellent food. We went for the set meal - Mekong River which was excellent. We plan to return there at our next celebration.
Was very busy and service a bit slow on a Monday evening. Had a great meal and enjoyable experience. Thai green curry was fantastic and enjoyed their prawn crackers.
Garden was a bit messy and grotty budwiser bottles strewn on the grass, needs a bit more attention to tidiness , they dont allow dogs in the bar area, only the garden. food good though and lovely laksa
visited for a celebration of 21 years of marriage and had a wonderful evening, the food was excellent and the flavours varied and full. the price was also surprisingly fair. Will definitely be going back there again.
Great meal, excellent atmosphere to enjoy with friends or family
Great food great services & great prices. It was my twins 6th birthday & were made to feel very special. Our waitress Emily was very welcoming & attentive even though she was under pressure from other diners including a 20 strong football party. Thank you for a great evening! Vic
